how to set time clock on a stoves SGB700PS
Very boring I know, but this thing is driving me mad. The instruction booklet is next to useless, there's three buttons on the front and the manual says 'hold the button in....' argghhh.
The cooker itself has had an intermittment fault in the top oven since I bought it in March 2010 and it took a threatening letter to get an engineer with half a brain out to fix the darn thing a couple of weeks ago. He left without resetting the clock. Would some kind FM give me an idiots guide please?

I would hold the centre one down and then use the right or left key to move the time orwards or backwards then release the centre button.
Just a guess but worth a try.

Thanks for that, but been there did that, it's a Newhomes cooker, totally different to my model.
Thank you for your advice.
I've held the centre button in (function button allegedly) to no avail and tried using the up and down keys either side but it's been hopeless. Have had several clever chaps round to attempt to set it but no good. The manual is next to useless as per normal.
I got fed up and turned the electric off at the wall and went out and when I came back I turned it on and eventually the clock sort of set itself - however it's a 24 hour clock and it's reset itself back to front - ie at 6 in the morning says 1800hrs - but that's liveable with.
I bought a Proline DAB clock radio a couple of years ago.
It has two alarms, but impossible to set them without painstakingly following the instructions (and it's one of those where there are timeouts associated with buttons otherwise it goes back to some other mode).
But, then, after following the instructions exactly, you check the alarm time, and it's reverted to it's previous time!
The solution was easy: I just put the old LED clock radio next to it, and used that instead for the clock and alarm! (The proline display is virtually invisible in the dark anyway. It's also been set to the same station for two years because it's so difficult to change!)
Or you could try a question to Stoves on their Contact Us page requesting a detailed explanation of how to do it properly.
If so I'd guess that pressing the central button will move a light to exch indicator in turn. When it gets to the clock one, the buttons either side will move the displayed time back and forth.
With about 5 seconds allowed for each step, or it'll go back to the beginning.
Bart - I loved your solution to your problem - LOL. Creative problem solving by thinking laterally!
Jsmith99 - oh, if only it were that easy ..... the instructions have befuddled chaps of a technical nature.
Albertd - I shall try the contact us page at Stoves, but having had 18 months of frustration attempting to get the problem with my oven resolved, I was hoping someone on DS had such a cooker and would give me an idiot's guide!
Will update you in due course....
